Also in the daily meetings (of about 40,000) 75% of those who attend are below 45 age and out of that about 20,000 are below 25. We have concentrated on college students. In 11,000 colleges there are about 1000 plus activities for the students. Another area of focus is IT Professionals. As you all are aware there are IT hubs in places like Pune, Bangalore and Noida. In about 500 places IT professionals come together once in a week or even daily. As you would be aware Sangh Swayamsewaks involve in many service projects especially in Slums, Urban, tribal areas and remote villages. Over 1,50,000 service activities are being conducted by RSS.
